Mid-Year Report: Here Are The Most-Searched Gay Porn Stars Of 2017

As we do every June, it’s time to check in on the most-searched gay porn stars, with Str8UpGayPorn’s biannual list of the Top 50 Most-Searched Gay Porn Stars, for the first half of 2017.

This list is based on internal stats and Google analytics showing which gay porn star names generated the most page views on Str8UpGayPorn, as referred by search engines. This list is one reliable measurement of popular online searches, but remember that other sites doing their own rankings should have slightly varying results, depending on the gay porn stars and news stories they regularly cover.

Several retired gay porn stars continue to rank high on the list, proving that their hotness (or, in a few cases, news of their arrests) lives on forever. And, congratulations to Johnny Rapid and Cliff Jensen, each of whom had fallen down the list at the end of the last year, but have now jumped back into the top 10.

At the end of 2016, Carter Dane ranked #1 on this list (click here to view 2016’s top 100 gay porn stars). Was the Str8UpGayPorn Award-winner of Best Performer able to hold onto the crown, or did another gay porn star take the top spot? Find out below.

Here are the Top 50 Most-Searched Gay Porn Stars for the first half of 2017. (Click any linked name to watch one of that gay porn star’s movie clips.)

For the first time in over a year, there is obviously a new number one: Blake Mitchell. He’s the most-searched performer of 2017 so far, and he’s made the largest leap of any performer, having skyrocketed from #29 on the previous list to #1 today.

Brooks having appeared on this list despite not being in a scene in years proves how absolutely I-C-O-N-I-C he is.

John

He is one of the hottest guys ever in porn and he breeds internally with his monster cock in almost every seen. He was so gorgeous with his endlessly long lean body that goes with his almost 10″ cock. I was so disappointed that he only did maybe 4 or 5 scenes. I think his cock was too big for most people to take. Colt Rivers said that it hurt but he endured it for what he imagined would be thee hotness of the end product.

Zachary Sire

I agree. He’s one of the best ever, and one of my all-time faves. And only 5 videos (including his solo)!

J.D.

All his scenes at SC are iconic and left all the other boys there SHAKING. Shame that he never get to perform with Peter because the two of them would’ve shattered the industry.

Sebastian S

Brooks was amazing. The interesting thing about guys like him on this list is that it must be his existing fans searching for him over and over. I’d think that most would not know him by name like “Austin Wilde” for example.

Sebastian S

How is Leo Giamani still so high? He was hot to look at years ago but was never an iconic performer.

My gawd. I shot Leo Giamani’s first bottoming scene nearly a decade ago (before anyone knew his name). Wow. It’s a good list. Surprised to see Kris Evans so low position. Austin Wilde is still one of my fantasy guys. So sexy.

nbtx27

Wow, of the Top 50, I only know of and like Stu and Noel, 2 great guys from the past top site Sean Cody, (Unfortunately, it’s now a very poor site.)

John

The only reason I can figure out why Jack Hunter, the sex god, is not higher on the list is that he is gay and most people like gay for pay. Maybe the fact that he is not higher accounts for why so little porn really inspires me today.

Tim

same with JJ Knight. I mean, really?

Then again, Alex Mecum and Carter Dane are 2 and 3, and they are a couple. so you never know.

Tktai Kamilla

I agree with you, so I do not agree with the number one of the list. Blake Mitchell is fine, but for guys who like twinks, most gay men on the internet are looking for real MEN that are usually G4P. Like Sean Cody or Corbin.

John

Four of the top eight are Men. Am I the only person who doesn’t watch their vanilla condom offerings that are dominating the ads for porn on the net.

the thing with all my favs, that I can tell, and this is over all time, is that they are all or almost all gay or bi and decent human beings as well as being sexy. there are a couple of straight SC models and Phenix Saint that aren’t gay as such, but they are probably not in my top 10. So, like many other commenters, I think that says something of my tastes. we really should have a discussion post on this site at some point where people can list their favorites or something in an open poll forum and compare, Zach.

Pertinax

Hard to believe, because if you compare #1 with Carter Dane, Alex Mecum, Bruce Backham, Jack Hunter, Paddy O’Brian, Will Winkle, Sen Zevran and others in this list its easy to realise that the guy is absolutely ” basic ” and it keeps you thinking that there are a bunch of teens that identifies his figure ( young and cute ” perv – nerd ” next door ) with theirs or worst, grown men with a penchant for ” twink – twunks “: Put a pair of glasses on a schlong and you’ll have this Blake Mitchell. Add to this the allure of a new toy … And to think that Armanda Jizzo and Johnny are in this list too…https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b0636a70582744ef581ff62eb1e24fc35e5223c4ec07c10eec714fd58f126a80.gif

Sebastian S

I’m surprised because I had no idea Blake Mitchell was that overall popular, but I’m not surprised that his teen/twink looks are high up. Rapid and Corrigan have been among the most popular porn stars of all time because of that youth appeal that many men love. (Give me #2-3, and Beckham any day).

Alison Smith

I think just cos you’re the most searched on this site doesn’t mean you’re the most popular – lots of people maybe didn’t know who he is and had to search for info! I prefer my porn stars to look like men and not college geeks but I know who Blake is from the constant Helix promo on here so I’m surprised he was still searched so much – I don’t take this kind of article seriously though!

Dreadmau5

Johnny Rapid is still a thing?

nick

he’s a rough tough bad boy man stud now apparently

Pertinax

He’s a rough tough bad boy man stud with an iron bunghole.

doodlebug

Disappear for 7 months and I guess some people come looking for you.

Joleil Ashwind

Thankfully this is just for the year 2017 and not for all time

nick

“of all time” would be a totally different list and probably none of these guys would be in it

Zavier

Brodie from Sean Cody isnt on this list ?….wow

Green4clover

Brodie is my fave! Hasn’t come out with any new scenes so he maybe done 😢

Zavier

He’s so goddamn cute i almost can’t stand it. And hes an amazing love maker. I saw him on the gay4pay porn doctumentary by Charlie David… Brodie is definitely a hyper-masculine douche. but he sure is nice to look at.

in other words, Jarec and Colt Rivers. boy, was that hot. but also, wow, I’ve never seen a more drama-filled pairing of people on a scene either. or two people I’d more gladly have sex with and the ghost on.

Pertinax

Johnny has such a bad concept with me that every time I see a photo of him it seems as if a stench was coming from it. The same occurs with Armanda Jizzo whose imaginary fedentine seems to poison the pic.

Only three Bel Ami models on this list? And only one them among the top 5?
But I haven’t seen any of Blake Mitchell’s scenes, so maybe I shouldn’t say anything.

Sebastian S

Makes since to me. I’d imagine more people would casually search for “Bel Ami” than Andrei Karenin or Hoyt.

Sed

Blake hasn’t been in a scene for awhile and he’s very popular. So it makes sense that he would be more searched for than he was in the past. Most searched for does not necessarily mean most popular. Not to take anything away from Blake. He’s great.

beefcupcake

People are just so boring…

AJ’s Black Widow

It sucks that Sebastian Kross retired, he was definantly one of my favorites.

Whoa…didn’t know Alex mecum and Carter Dane are a couple…soooo much hotness! 😍

hyperkind

Howsabout the 3 people I am personally glad are NOT on this list: Paul Canon, Damien Kyle, and Vadim Black. After their PR train wrecks (whether it was their “preferences” or other dumbass comments), it’s good to know people are giving them something of the cold shoulder.

Michael Regan

I’ve not searched for anyone on this list, I’ve looked up the happenings of Zeb Atlas, Vince Ferelli, Carlo Masi and Matthew Rush to see how he’s doing after his dropped conviction

EatingRaoul

Is it possible that Cody Cummings spends his days doing nothing except googling himself? Otherwise, WTF?

Pertinax

It was reported that he has a large women’s fan club whose members even lost their time doing collages with his pics …

The Porn Emperor

There’s a difference between bi-annual and semi-annual, you know.
Oh wait–I guess you DON’T know.

Hari Kalyan

so does this just mean the porn star with the most articles that mention their name on this site?
